DaimlerChrysler must pay $20 million to Alfred D'Ulisse, a retired police officer and brake repairman whose right lung was removed because of cancer caused by asbestos, a jury in Manhattan's state Supreme Court ruled. DaimlerChrysler was found to be 10 percent liable for D'Ulisse's cancer, but will be responsible for a total of 80 percent of the damages because two other companies found to be liable no longer exist. DaimlerChrysler says the case was built on "junk science" and that it will appeal.
